Our team is walking in the Parkinson Canada SuperWalk to raise money for Parkinson Canada in honour of Yvette.

Yvette was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease on July 26th, 2023. Before that, she was cycling in the Quebec Appalachians, motivating her students to be fit and active, and dancing the night away at her nephew's wedding. Suffice it to say, this diagnosis came as a major shock to all of us who know her.

Yvette is a warrior and a champion in her own right, and has never failed to be strong for her family. While we know she will work hard for the best possible outcome, it is now time for us to step up as her champions and help her navigate this journey and help raise money for Parkinson's research.

We're here to exclaim "PUCK FARKINSON'S" and give Yvette the active, happy life she so deserves.

More than 100,000 Canadians live with Parkinson's, a number expected to increase substantially in the coming years, with 30 Canadians diagnosed each day.

Parkinson's is a disease that affects not only individuals but also families, friends and care partners who come together to manage the realities of Parkinson's.

Parkinson's is the fastest growing neurological disorder in the world. In the brain, nerves exchange signals through dopamine, a chemical that controls movement. Parkinson's symptoms occur when cells that produce dopamine die. Currently, there is no cure, and the need is only increasing. By 2031, the number of people living with Parkinson's in Canada will more than double. The support you provide makes a positive impact: improving the quality of life for people living with Parkinson's disease as well as finding a cure.

With your donation, we can help people with Parkinson's live a better life today and work toward a world without Parkinson's tomorrow.
